A short YouTube vlog in which Ben Greenfield introduces the concept of a "rebel yell"—a personal mission statement tied to fitness and lifestyle. He reads his own rebel yell aloud: that he loves fitness, wants to achieve difficult physical feats while avoiding extreme, unhealthy practices, and has created a healthier, natural training/eating/living approach which he intends to teach others. He invites viewers to create their own rebel yell and links to instructions on his site.

Hey, I'm Ben Greenfield and I'm wearing a hoodie because it makes me feel more badass when I'm shooting this video. The reason that I wanted to feel badass shooting this video is because the name of this video is Rebel Yell. And Rebel Yell just sounds really badass. So I had to wear my hoodie. Over at BenGreenfieldFitness.com Rebeleyell that's rebel yell. All one word without a dash between the word rebel and the word yell. Just thought I'd clarify. You will find instructions for creating your rebel yell. But I want to tell you my rebel yell to help you understand a little bit more about why I do what I do. Now, if I was really cool and really on top of things, I'd have my rebel yell memorized. But I didn't memorize it yet, so.
I'm gonna read it to you. Alright, are you ready? Here we go.
My name is Ben Greenfield.
I read that and then I looked back at the camera for dramatic emphasis. So that's why I look away and then look back. Alright, let's start over again now that you know what I'm doing. My name is Ben Greenfield.
I love getting fit, feeling good about the way my body looks, and fulfilling.
My deep seated drive to live life.
To the fullest by achieving difficult feats of physical performance. But I was fed up with feeling like crap from all the extreme. Exercising, strange foods, feelings of constant stress and soreness, and worry about the toll my hectic lifestyle was taking on my body. So I created a way of training, eating and living that is perfectly healthy and natural, but that still allows me to look, feel, feel and perform at my peak capabilities.
And now my rebel yell is not only what I just explained to you, but also the fact that I want to spend the rest of my life teaching you how to do the same thing. How to be healthy on the outside and healthy on the inside.
So that's my purpose in life. And I'm curious what your purpose in life, what your rebel yell is.
So Again, go to BenGreenfieldFitness.com rebel yell and let me know. I'd love to hear about it. And until next time, I'm Ben Greenfield, hoodie and all, signing out.
